I fall asleep almost every night to the sound of the "crunch crunch" underneath your feet. Walked San Jean to Leon August 2023 with an extremely heavy heart. Could not finish, could not face Cruz de Ferro. Am leaving again mid May 2024 with hopes of genuine forgiveness. Thank you for your inspirational video.
We too are looking at doing our first Camino, in search of Repentance in our hearts, and forgiveness. Not time or date set yet, but we have declared it. We pray that you find it. Please pray for us as well.
You got GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS footage and shots! ( What did you use for visual capture?!!) The composition of your stills is quite exquisite. Thank you - so appreciate how you chose to capture your journey - no constant conversation, not even much capture of where you stayed - no extraneous stuff - what an interesting minimalist style of documenting the Camino - 🙏🙏🙏
I already love your video because you say what time of year you started the walk. That is hands-down one of the most valuable tips a Peregrino can give. Thank you!
@@Bartek_Goes_Walking Im watching or listening to it everyday at the moment because i love the music coupled with the crunching footsteps. I wish to walk the Camino de Santiago oneday and this morning i started training with a new backpack, listening to your video! Thanks again 🙏🏽
Najlepszy film o camino jaki od dawna obejrzałem. Idealny, w moim stylu. Żadnego gadania, piękne ujęcia i muzyka w tle. Na prawdę można poczuć klimat poelgrzymowania Prawie czułem woń powietrza, chłód i upał. Mam nadzieję kiedyś jechać rowerem z Polski, iść już gorzej że względu na kontuzję kolana.. widzę jednak, że momentami szlak był ciężki do przejścia, więc rowerem tym bardziej słabo.. Gratuluję przejścia, wspomnień i filmu. Mega. Pozdrawiam
Preciosas imagenes y música que resumen muy bien el espíritu del Camino. Y muchisimas gracias por no hacer comentarios estúpidos o pretenciosos como suelen hacer en la mayoria de videos. Un abrazo y ¡Buen Camino hermano peregrino!
Back in California just 6 weeks and already forgetting all those villages ! BUT!! I will never forget their warmth and kindness during those formidable days of rain and hurricane winds but they still made an effort to say Buen Camino. It meant a lot to this backpacker / tenter/ pilgrim. I now understand the magic as im going back April 7 2025 as i have to complete Leon to Sarria section. Took a 10 day rest at my mates house in Almerimar and was to embark on Portuguese but it rained and entire week. Buen Camino
Well done. What an amazing achievement, especially to do it in 27 days and in inclement weather no less. Hoping to be able to do it (finances and time permitting) in 2024 (or maybe 2025) myself, though perhaps not quite as fast and hopefully in better weather too. Buen Camino!
I first thought I saw them admiring your fiscal condition! (yay you!) But seriously, great video. I just did the Frances from mid May - end of July and had a blast! Your video brought me back!@@Bartek_Goes_Walking
Thanks a lot for the great work. Highly informative as I am planning my first Camino. In case anyone is interested, below are the stops and the distance between stops. Way too aggressive an itinerary for my age and artificial knees, but I am hoping to follow the same route. Hoping to start second week in April 2025 to avoid damp and possibly cold weather and to see more people. Appreciate anyone's feedback on a mid-April start. Downsides? Upsides? Thanks a lot!

Thank you! I'm biased but I love doing the Camino in April. There are enough people to make it fun yet not enough (yet) to make finding a bed stressful. I normally go with the flow, see where we end up and I don't book anything in advance. I prefer walking when the temps are below 25 and the crisp clear mornings are incredible. I might get 7 days of average days with rain during the month.
Precisely what I was hoping to hear, Bartek. Thanks a lot! Will definitely move forward with a mid-April start. I am thinking of booking a room for the first and possibly second night. After that, I’ll go with the flow. Going to be 68 years old soon, grew up in Brazil, travelled a lot over the years. Never been so excited about a trip as I am about the Camino. Only downside is that my wife not coming along because she is concerned about being able to finish because of her feet. Not sure I’ll be able to finish with my artificial knees, but I want to give it a shot. Thanks for your work to get ready for my first Camino. Cheers!
Take your time, there is no rush, this is your Camino. Towns that coincide with stages in guide books or on Gronze do get busier and there are choke points or options to stay at the next town being limited or too far away so I suggest you get WhatsApp since most places use it for bookings, look at the "wise pilgrim" app, it has a simple booking request via WhatsApp that will pre write the messages and send a booking on the day when you know where you want to stay. Have a look at the official statistics at the number of starters and finishes oficinadelperegrino.com/en/statistics-2/
Thank you so much. The day time Max temperatures averaged around 15 degrees. I had a few warm 25 degree days. I prepared myself for mostly rain and I only got a few days of drizzle.
I started in SJPP april 27. 2023. Great weather during the day but quite cold in the early mornings!. After Leon it was nice warm. I finished Santiago June 3. 🙏 It's been a wonderful life experience.
Precioso video, muchas gracias. Voy a hacer el camino francés soy de mex. salgo de francia. Tu consideras indispensable llevar palos, (no los soporto) y te llovió mucho? voy abril y mayo.
Thank you! I didn't have any sticks but I'm very comfortable climbing hills and going down rocky paths. It's a personal choice. There are places you can buy some of you feel you need them on the Frances. It rained a little so it's better to be prepared than get yourself and your things wet.
Thank you! I wore Inov8 Trailfly trail runners. I found the heel material to be too soft and it caused me issues a week into it. The next Camino im doing I will be walking in Salomon speed cross 6.
I haven't seen this route, but maybe others haven't shown these parts on their videos. I like solitude but that was too isolating especially during the hike. I like people around.
This is the standard Camino Frances but I did start before the official season thus the lack of pilgrims plus i wanted to show the reality of the way. It was quiet on the walk but there were enough pilgrims at the albergues to make it fun & social. The isolation while walking really gave you time to contemplate life and the journey.

I really hope that you gain that forgiveness you wanted this time around. Just take it one step at a time.

So beautiful and calm video and pictures about walking on the Camino Frances, thank you😍
Thank you 😊
Your video reflects the sense of Camino! The way, walking, the nature, villages and finally Santiago de Compostela! ❤
You got GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS footage and shots!

I used my phone and GoPro for all the footage.
Gracias por compartir el Camino. Saludos cordiales desde Barcelona. Me suscribo y pulgar arriba.

Gracias, gracias y miles de gracias. Llevo 5 caminos y su documental es una maravilla y una forma exquisita de ver el Camino. Buen Camino iiiii
Hey ...a beautifully put together little movie! Well done. I love the musical score. ❤️Love it! 🪷🪷🪷

Memories did the Camino in 23 at the age of 83.. Solo loved every minute.. blessings
Good for you, that’s inspiring! Greetings from Banff, Canada:)
That has to be one of the best walks, I haven't done. Yet 😃
Congrats, what a wonderful video. Truly amazing.
Thank you so much!
Najlepszy film o camino jaki od dawna obejrzałem. Idealny, w moim stylu. Żadnego gadania, piękne ujęcia i muzyka w tle. Na prawdę można poczuć klimat poelgrzymowania Prawie czułem woń powietrza, chłód i upał.
Mam nadzieję kiedyś jechać rowerem z Polski, iść już gorzej że względu na kontuzję kolana.. widzę jednak, że momentami szlak był ciężki do przejścia, więc rowerem tym bardziej słabo..
Gratuluję przejścia, wspomnień i filmu. Mega. Pozdrawiam
Dziękuję za piękne słowa. Mój polski jest trochę słaby. Miejmy nadzieję, że Twoje kolano wyzdrowieje na tyle, aby samodzielnie ukończyć Camino.
great in my head i am onthe camino when in see this. And NO selfy stick no face book only wonderful images and video's.

Thank you for the great video
Buen Camino ~~
preciosas imágenes..
Thanks. Did the walk in September and your video was a great reminder of an amazing journey. You did much longer days than I did!
Thank you! Unfortunately I was on a tight schedule with time off from work. Next one that's planned will not be so rushed.
Gratidão por compartilhar. Muito bom relembrar os meus caminhos. Desde São Paulo, Brasil. Ultreya et Suseya!
Merci pour ce beau partage
Merci pour cette belle immersion !
Ultreïa !

That path looks like it will wash you away if you are on it on a heavy rainy day.
Your video is beautiful! What were the temperatures like in March. You had beautiful sunny days for the most part.
Thank you so much.
The day time Max temperatures averaged around 15 degrees. I had a few warm 25 degree days. I prepared myself for mostly rain and I only got a few days of drizzle.
@@Bartek_Goes_Walking thank you for replying. I’m Canadians and those are perfect temperatures for me. I’m hoping to walk beginning of April.
Fantastic! Perfect weather then.
I'm planning another Camino starting roughly the same time.
Buen Camino!
I started in SJPP april 27. 2023. Great weather during the day but quite cold in the early mornings!. After Leon it was nice warm. I finished Santiago June 3. 🙏
It's been a wonderful life experience.
Looks amazing! I wonder if we could do it being middle age and all! ❤
Definitely look into it! I did long days due to leave constraints but do it at your own pace.
The first time I walked the Camino I was 62. The 2. time 66 and now I will walk the 3. time in October and my age is 78. Greetings from Germay. 🇩🇪
Did you walk in the Autumn? I saw the snow, part way in to your video.
I started late March from SJPP so most of it was in spring.
Precioso video, muchas gracias. Voy a hacer el camino francés soy de mex. salgo de francia. Tu consideras indispensable llevar palos, (no los soporto) y te llovió mucho? voy abril y mayo.
Thank you!
I didn't have any sticks but I'm very comfortable climbing hills and going down rocky paths. It's a personal choice. There are places you can buy some of you feel you need them on the Frances.
It rained a little so it's better to be prepared than get yourself and your things wet.
Great video and hope to doo this one day.Did you just record videos on your phone or have any fancy video equipment
Most video was recorded on a GoPro the rest was on my phone.
@@Bartek_Goes_Walking Thanks
Amazing to do it in 27 days. What boots did you wear?
Thank you! I wore Inov8 Trailfly trail runners. I found the heel material to be too soft and it caused me issues a week into it. The next Camino im doing I will be walking in Salomon speed cross 6.
What equipment (camera, etc.) did you use to record the journey?
I will be making another video very shortly on equipment but I used my Google Pixel and GoPro 11 for all footage.
Did you take any rest days?
No rest days. Closest day to a rest day was the 14km day.
El video es maravilloso, me fascinó. sólo no entiendo porque le pusiste esa música tan deprimente.... mejor sin nada de música. solo tus pasos
I did an edit without music but I didn't like it, I still have it so I might still upload it.
I think most of the music is fine
- it makes the photos and footage keeping to the minimalist feel...
why is your route so differ from the others looks so lonely and deserted
I haven't seen this route, but maybe others haven't shown these parts on their videos. I like solitude but that was too isolating especially during the hike. I like people around.
This is the standard Camino Frances but I did start before the official season thus the lack of pilgrims plus i wanted to show the reality of the way. It was quiet on the walk but there were enough pilgrims at the albergues to make it fun & social. The isolation while walking really gave you time to contemplate life and the journey.
looks like you just keep walking and walking no albergues no food no wine no talking no socialization?
Yeah great! Very refreshing!
A minimalist way of recording his journey; quite a different take of how most others record their journey.
I agree - actually, the style of recording is so different, it's refreshing!
